Safest way to make 1% per month

A = P x (1 + r)^n

A = ending balance
P = starting balance (or principal)
r = interest rate per period as a decimal (for example, 2% becomes 0.02)
n = the number of time periods

e.g. P=$1000, r=1% or 0.01, n = 10 years or 120 months
A = 1000*(1+0.01)^120 = $3300

I was challenged last evening in a pub (without face mask!) on what would be the "safest approach" to make 1% per month over the next 10 years. Not more, just 1%.

That's about 9 to 10% net of inflation per year or about 1.5x very long term US equity index return.

I was not able to answer on the spot but promised the dude to raise the question here.

Safest way long term invest/ SPY + some better % stuff.
NOT every month does 1%, some more or less.[I guess if you wanted to limit to 1%\ sell + go to cash\even if that cuts your return /LOL]For some one that cant stand risk, do less than 1% with a bank/fixed rate.IF that loses to inflation , simply proves why so many dont want bonds or bank cd only]:caution:
 
Big hammer approach ...
Oil is going up.
Invest in that, or anything that relies on diesel (all the AGs, so far as I know).
Bonus points, USDA announced last month that funding for Food Stamps gets an immediate 25% increase. Meaning that the FED is going to sit back and watch those prices go up, not interfere, as opposed to Gold/Silver, which are rife with market manipulation/capping.

You're approached with a prospectus that outlines a collared-equity strategy (LS +LP +SC) and you invest $60MM knowing that it's (purported to be) a bull vertical strategy? I got the same Greenwich prospectus that Yass saw. There is no way that anyone with knowledge of the space would buy into that fund unless they did zero DD.

Making a bull bet in energy, one of the most volatile asset classes around, is your idea of the "Safest way to make 1% per month"?
 
I hear you,but Yass is the smartest guy I know when it comes to trading...

The "Peak Oil" folks have been screaming for 30-40 years that this can't go on.
Do you really think they will be wrong forever?
